United Airlines have just started a competition where its Premier Mileage Plus members can win a
share of 50 Million Mileage Plus miles. All contestants need to do is team
up with friends, family members and co-workers, the top 50 teams with the
largest number of accumulated miles will win 1 million miles.
Members may
compete in teams of four during 2008 by earning more miles than last year, and
the top 50 teams will split 50 million Mileage Plus miles,
with each team receiving one million
miles -- 250,000 miles per person.
“We are always looking to give our members
diverse ways to accrue and redeem Mileage Plus miles, and this unique
competition will be fun and rewarding for our most loyal customers,” says
Robert Sahadevan, United Airlines vice president – Mileage Plus. “Whether they
flew a hundred or a hundred thousand miles last year, our premier members will
have a chance to compete for the biggest reward we will give this year.”
Through the
United Elite Team Contest, premier members will try to earn more Elite
Qualifying Miles (EQM) in 2008 than 2007. Each team will consist of four
Mileage Plus members, and the team’s total 2008 EQM will be compared to the
previous year.
The top 50
teams at the end of the year with the greatest increase will each win the
following reward, to be shared evenly among the four team members, all of whom
must have premier status with United: one million miles, 50,000 EQM, 50
Elite Qualifying Segments (EQS), eight confirmed regional upgrades, and eight
United Red Carpet Club® one-time passes. U.S. members who were enrolled
in Mileage Plus prior to Jan. 1, 2007 can register for the contest through
Sept. 7, 2008 at united.com/2008choice, and full terms and conditions are
below.
